Sexting is becoming a real problem amongst our children and young people and during my work as a Family Support Worker, I have been asked to work with a number of our teens to help them understand the dangers and legalities of ‘sexting.’

One young person (14 yrs) I have just completed a chapter of work with agreed to use the knowledge he had gained to design a poster that I could then go on to use with other children and young people. I am really pleased with what we managed to produce, not only because it will be a really useful tool when I am working with others, but because it shows that he retained and understood what we had discussed over a number of weeks!

October was a very busy month for Maisy, as well as making friends with Angel she also got to spend some time with Charlotte and Isabelle. Here’s an entry from Maisy’s diary telling us all about the fun she had!
